About Time: The LifeLine Chronicles: Book One

By Christopher Nelms

At eighty years old, Cade Gatlin has one week to live.
Not because he's dying-because in 2055, the state "decommissions" everyone at eighty. No appeals. No exceptions. Just a final trip to the furnaces so the poor won't drain resources from the elite.
But Cade spent the last twenty years as a janitor in the very building where humanity's greatest breakthrough was developed: time travel. And as his expiration date approaches, he steals it.
The Lifeline sends him back to August 2nd, 1996-his twenty-first birthday. His body is young again. His mind holds eighty years of memory. And he has one mission: save his brother Reese from the leukemia that will kill him in October 2000.
Armed with a smartphone that can access the internet from sixty years in the future, the ability to pause and rewind time itself, and knowledge of every stock market winner for the next five decades, Cade should have the advantage.
But the past fights back. Reese's cancer mutates off-script. The woman Cade loved-and forgot-walks back into his life. And another time traveler is already operating in 1996, with his own agenda and a warning: Stay out of my way, or I'll erase you from history entirely.
Cade came back to save one life.
He's about to discover he's fighting for the fate of the entire timeline.
